Bill
HD 1815
Streamlines driver's license process for new state residents by waiving written exam, reducing road test, and expediting application - making it easier and more convenient to legally operate a motor vehicle.
This proposed bill seeks to streamline the process for individuals moving to the state from out of state to obtain a driver's license. The main goal is to make it easier and more convenient for new residents to legally operate a motor vehicle in the state.
The bill includes the following key changes:
Waiver of Written Exam: Individuals applying for a driver's license who held a valid license from another U.S. state or territory would be exempt from having to take the written driver's license examination. Their out-of-state license would be accepted in lieu of the written test.
Reduced Road Test Requirement: The bill would reduce the road test requirement from a full, comprehensive exam to a simpler, shorter road evaluation for new residents transferring an out-of-state license.
Streamlined Application Process: The bill directs the state's motor vehicle department to establish an expedited application process for out-of-state license transfers, with the goal of issuing new licenses within 10 business days.
Fee Waiver: The standard driver's license application fee would be waived for individuals transferring an out-of-state license to the state within 30 days of establishing residency.
The primary groups affected by this bill would be:
If passed, the bill would take effect 90 days after enactment. The motor vehicle department would then have 60 days to establish the new application process and policies for out-of-state license transfers.
